Do you think pirates really do buy some of the games they get for free?

I know for a fact that a lot of people do.

Personally, I can't speak for gaming, because I don't pirate games, but I do pirate a lot of TV Shows and movies ... And when I see something I like, I always buy it on DVD. I own Seinfeld, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Psych, House M.D., Heroes (first two seasons only), Lost, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and probably a few more I'm forgetting on DVD - and I started off pirating every single one of them.

As for movies, I'm not even going to go there, because I've bought well over 50 that I started off downloading...

While I am with you on the movies front, comparing movies to games isn't really fair, unless you are getting a flawless copy with all the extra's that a DVD/Blu-ray has :)

I rarely use the extras so I didn't even think of that.

My point about quality still stands, the majority of torrents out there (unless you get a screener) are terrible.  Whereas a pirated game is going to look just as good as one you paid $60 for

Ypur point doesnt stand at all the quality on torrents varies but if you want an exact copy as retail and all the extras they are there if you want them, You have the choice between a smaller file in divx or avi or anexact copy of a retail dvd.
